Traces of painting done by Paul Klee called "Girl Dies and Becomes."
It is suspected that Paul Klee drew this design after a young woman, close friend of the family, drowned in 1933. She had given her cat Bimbo to the Klee family. After doing these sketches Paul Klee painted over them and used the other side of the canvas. "Girl Dies and Becomes" was only discovered in 1990 when the covering paint fell off. This story is told in a recent exhibition at the Zentrum Paul Klee: "A Shining Secret. Kids Curate Klee."
